The Cumbria Way

The Cumbria Way

The Cumbria Way is a linear 112-kilometre (71-mile) long-distance footpath in Cumbria, England. Much of the route lies inside the boundaries of the Lake District National Park. Linking the two historic Cumbrian towns of Ulverston and Carlisle, the Cumbria Way passes through the towns of Coniston and Keswick.

The route cuts through the Lake District via Coniston Water, Great Langdale, Borrowdale, Derwent Water, Skiddaw Forest and Caldbeck and is a primarily low-level route, however there are a few high-level exposed sections.

Generally completed in 5 walking days and easily accessed from all parts of the UK and further afield, it makes it the ideal multi day walking adventure.

The route may be walked in either direction, but it is more usual to walk it from Ulverston in the south to Carlisle in the north.
